Part 1: The Abyss of Forgotten Memory
Darkness.
Kairo floated in a void where time had no meaning. Flashes of his past lives—human and dragon—swirled around him like dying stars.
"You are the bridge."
A massive serpentine form coiled through the darkness, its scales etched with constellations. The Astral Dragon Prime, Kairo realized—the progenitor of his lineage.
"Zhaitan fears your human heart," it rumbled. "That is why you survived."
Memories forced themselves into Kairo's mind:
A council of gods voting to exterminate the dragons.
Beerus, younger and fiercer, raising his hand in abstention.
Whis'subtle smile as he erased records of one dragon egg's location—Earth.
Kairo gasped. "I was... hidden?"
The Prime's jaws parted in a grin. "And now you must do what purebloods could not."
Its tail slapped the void—
—and Kairo fell into another memory. His human death. But this time, he saw five glowing threads tied to his betrayers' hands.
Puppet strings.

Part 2: Hands-On Research
[Capsule Corp Medical Bay – 72 Hours Later]
Kairo awoke to searing pain and the sensation of small hands tracing his scales.
"Fascinating..." Bulma murmured, her fingers gliding over his exposed pectorals where black Eclipse markings swirled. "These aren't just energy patterns. They're dimensional anchors."
Kairo jerked upright—only to collapse as agony lanced through his spine. His new tail (thicker, spiked) thrashed involuntarily, smashing a monitor.
"Easy there, lizard boy." Bulla leaned against the wall, arms crossed. Her gaze lingered on the V-shaped scales leading below his waistband. "Mom's been examining you for hours."
Bulma coughed, cheeks pink. "Scientific inquiry only!"
A beep interrupted them. On the screen: Goku and Vegeta standing before a ruined temple, its entrance carved with dragon-slaying runes.
Vegeta's voice crackled through: "We found it. The Oracle of the Void."

Part 3: The Unlikely Teacher
[Planet Konats – Ancient Temple Grounds]
The Oracle was not what they expected.
A petite woman with moth-like wings sipped tea, her four eyes blinking at them lazily. "Mm. Saiyans. How... noisy."
Goku scratched his head. "Uh... we need to learn how to kill dragons?"
The Oracle's cup shattered.
"You wish to learn Draco Necris," she whispered. "The art that murdered galaxies."
Vegeta stepped forward. "We have a dragon ally who—"
"Lies." Her hand shot out, pressing to Vegeta's forehead. "You crave the power first. The justification came later."
Goku's fists clenched. "We gotta protect our universe!"
The Oracle sighed. "Then you will learn... and regret it."
Her wings flared—
—and the Saiyans screamed as forbidden knowledge flooded their minds.

Part 4: The Corruption Begins
[Capsule Corp – Training Grounds]
Bulla's ki blade clashed against Kairo's claws, sparks flying. Since waking, his movements were sharper, more predatory.
"You're holding back," Kairo growled. His tail snaked around her ankle, yanking her off-balance.
Bulla twisted midair, her knee grazing his groin—
—Kairo caught her leg, pulling her flush against him. Golden eyes met teal.
"Cheap move," he murmured.
Bulla's smirk was all challenge. "You're the one not letting go."
A crash ruined the moment. Pan stood in the doorway, a shattered tray at her feet.
"Uh... Bulma said to— oh my god is that a tail spike?!"
Kairo's Eclipse markings pulsed with embarrassment.

Part 5: The Darkest Revelation
That night, Kairo dreamt again—but this time, Zhaitan was waiting.
"Poor hybrid," the Elder Dragon crooned. "You still think this is about revenge?"
The vision shifted:
-Earth, but not the one Kairo knew. A dragon-ruled Earth where humans were pets.
The same five girls who betrayed him—kneeling before Zhaitan, their eyes glowing gold.
Whis, whispering to a shadowed figure: "The experiment worked. The human-dragon hybrid is stable."*
Kairo woke screaming, his Eclipse Form flaring uncontrollably.
The bedroom door burst open. Bulla and Pan stood frozen as black energy ravaged the room.
"Kairo...?" Pan reached out.
His tail lashed toward her throat—
—and stopped a millimeter from her skin.
"Run," Kairo begged, veins bulging as he fought himself. "Before I kill you."
